complete noob here too. I recently bought the CF version of this scope along with the HEQ5Pro and some basic eyepieces thrown in.
AP, how hard can it be, right ?? well hard enough for me to lower my sights to visual observing till the skill and knowledge base grow a bit.
For visual observation the scope as supplied to me was not suitable. I did not get a diagonal and this is essential since I am taller than 500mm and the scope will not focus an eyepiece without the diagonal or an extra extension tube.

As I am a newbie, I was wondering what else would be required to photograph using this astrograph with a DSLR (if a DSLR would even be appropriate).

On the subject of DSLR's, are there any places in Australia that can astromod my canon EOS 60D that won't cost me an arm or leg? I've also seen this Tan person from HK who also does it, and i've seen people on these forums recommend using him. Any suggestions?

TIA.
